Lindsey J. Zitzmann

Hi, I’m Lindsey, an unlikely pastor’s wife, bio and adoptive mom of two boys (fourteen years apart to the day!). My family is my top priority, as they are God’s gift and main ministry in this season of life, but I’m also passionate about helping others live life through the lens of scripture. I’m a certified life coach and credentialed minister, and I love to equip women to dig into God’s Word and find the answers to their most pressing problems, as well as how to live on purpose for the glory of God in their daily, ordinary lives. This often means challenging societal norms and reframing what success, healing, and daily choices look like for Christians. Sometimes this means pushing back against an unhealthy therapy culture and highlighting the sufficiency of Christ for lasting heart healing. Other times, it’s helping to evaluate priorities in light of the gospel and root out deceptions that are keeping people stuck.

My passion for helping others stems from the redemptive healing I have received from deep wounds and abuse suffered in a different season of life. I minister and coach from a place of compassion and understanding, having been through many difficulties and mistakes, and knowing there is hope for healing, freedom, contentment, and purpose in life regardless of what one has or is facing. Jesus has drastically changed my life, and I love partnering with Him to change others’ lives, too. By God’s grace, I aim to do this through writing, coaching, speaking, leading Bible studies, and discipling my children.
